Join us for the 2nd Slow Food Cape Cod “Farm to Table” as part of CLASH – Cape Land and Sea Harvest. Spend an afternoon at Coonamessett Farm in Falmouth and enjoy a sampling of freshly shucked oysters, listen to live jazz music, take in a farm tour and sit down to an elegant five course community meal.

A little bit of a twist, we plan to feature recipes from the cookbook Edible, A Celebration of Local Foods, as our inspiration for the meal. Tracey Ryder and Carole Topalian, Cofounders of Edible Communities Publications and creators of the book will be joining us. Edible Ojai was their first publication, Edible Cape Cod the second, thanks to Doug and Dianne Langeland, who also started CLASH.

Farmer Ron Smolowitz, is one of the local heroes showcased in the book. “Coonamessett Days, Jamaican Nights”, elegantly written by Tom Dott, “What Ron Smolowitz has done with Coonamessett Farm is like what the Swiss Army did to a knife”. I agree, Farmer Ron and his wife Roxanna were ahead of their time, in that they created a breathtaking space, complete with a dance floor, to host farm to table dinners, long before they became the rage. You just can’t get any stronger of a link to our food, our farmers, and our community.

All Proceeds to Support Slow Food Cape Cod’s “Real Food In School Campaign“. To date we have made $2,200 in donations to Orleans Elementary, Wellfleet Elementary and Nauset High School in support of their efforts to get real food into the school lunch program.

Slow Food Cape Cod (SFCC) is a local convivium (chapter) of Slow Food USA, a 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to promoting the pleasures of the table. Our mission is about taking the time to bring joy into our everyday meal, to know where our food came from – eat local and experience the superior taste of dishes prepared with fresh, in season, ingredients, while preserving our regional heritage. more
